This article discusses the books "Brother and Brother," by Dorothy Van Doren, and "The Feathered Nest," by Margaret Leech. The tie between the two brothers in Dorothy Van Doren's novel is one not often treated in fiction. It offers no dramatic developments because it is a sane, intelligent, helpful relationship, only faintly menaced near the end by their common love for the girl whom the younger brother wins. Ellery, the elder by ten years thrust out of the home by the tactless obstinacy of his father, has drifted into a business that his natural industry makes a financial success.
